In this session you'll learn about Oracle’s strategy for and inner workings of OpenJDK,
the community where the development of open source implementations of the Java Plaform, Standard
Edition takes place.

Starting in 2006, portions of the JDK code base were released under open source, starting the OpenJDK effort. Today OpenJDK 6 derived binaries are found in most Linux distributions and OpenJDK 7 is being used for the reference implementation of Java SE 7. Learn about the ongoing work in OpenJDK 6, hear about the new features in JDK 7, and get an overview of the functionality expected in JDK 8.
